I think that "Keep on moving on" is a good theme for my life and what is going on with it. With each obstacle that I find myself up against, I just keep on moving on. And in that same breath, with each Saturday and each run, I just keep on movin' on... and the miles keep on going up.
In the last week, I have closed on a house, packed up my old place (sort of), moved, finally found closure in something that changed my life (pat on the back for that), finished the last week of JANUARY at work - and continued my training. Although I have been stressed out (who wouldn't be!?), the one thing that is not stressing me out is Team in Training.
Training for this marathon is a totally different than last year. I am having such a good time with the AMAZING friends that I have made and I know what to expect from my body and I have learned how to take care of myself and train. I have more support than I ever would have expected and I have made friends that I know will last a lifetime.
On the note of support, I had a great crew of people who helped me through the marathon last year and I can not, by any means, take away from what they contributed or how much they helped me in crossing the finish. However, this year, it is totally different. Nobody is supporting me through this out of obligation. They are supporting me because they WANT to -- they are people who have a common interest -- finishing the marathon and raising money for LLS... and they have quickly become amazing, fun and great friends. Before starting TNT, I was in a massive funk - -everyone knew that. But through this experience this year, I have found myself again and I finally feel like the old Sam... Fun Sam. :)
Soooo with all that said, a HUGE thank you to Kristina, for helping me run and finish all those miles this weekend and keeping me smiling, laughing and (sadly) singing. You are AMAZING and I am SOOOOOOOOOO thankful for you. And Mickey - even though you didn't bring me a milkshake, you are amazing and I am so happy you are my bff. :)
